Biography: I knew I wanted to be a physician since I was a small child. I was fascinated by hospitals and the mechanisms of the human body. Then, when I was in college and still in the process of figuring out the path I wanted to take, my father was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Watching him go through that experience and witnessing the care shown by his physicians guided me in the direction of oncology. Today, as a radiation oncologist, I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my patients and guiding them through this difficult time in their life. \n I approach each treatment with a deep sensitivity to the fact that I am meeting my patients at a very vulnerable time in their lives and aim to offer comfort and calm. I hope to provide them with the knowledge to fully understand their illness and their treatment options. Then, I work to guide them toward the best treatment decision for their own well-being. I care deeply about my patient and always want to get to know them first as a person, beyond their illness. With every patient who walks through my door, my goal is to improve the quality of their life and help them return to their normal lives and routines. \n Born and raised in Pittsburgh, I have lived in Winston-Salem since I first arrived in the city for medical school in 1986. I fell in love with the area and knew it was where I wanted to stay and raise a family. My children have been my main focus and joy over the years. Now that they are grown and no longer living at home, my husband and I enjoy focusing on each other. In my free time, I love hiking, traveling and cooking, particularly Italian food. I also enjoy playing with my cairn terrier and going on long walks.

Biography: Even in my early teens, I knew I wanted to be a physician. I was fascinated by anatomy, loved science and was precise at dissection. Surgery was definitely my calling. \n Being the child of first-generation immigrants meant several messages were ingrained in my siblings and me. Our parents expected us to work hard, finish what we started, push to succeed and never complain. \n I had a wonderful mentor during my residency who shared with me his surgical mantra: "Treat every patient like they are your mother." I took it to heart and adopted it as my mantra, too. I believe this wholeheartedly and continue to operate with this thought in mind. \n When it comes to robotic surgery, I was an early adopter. I have performed more than 1,500 robotic procedures. I even test other surgeons on their robotics skills once they have completed training. In my role as a robotic proctor, I travel the country and evaluate and "sign off" on surgeons who have completed robotics training. \n I have founded two bariatric centers and built them into established Bariatric Surgery Centers of Excellence (BSCOE). The BSCOE designation helps patients identify surgeons who provide the safest and most effective treatments. The robotic center in High Point I founded was awarded the first robotic epicenter in North Carolina by the Intuitive Surgical group in 2019. \n I'm a member of the American Board of Surgery and SAGES (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) and am a fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons. \n My hobbies include coaching and helping with my kids' travel sports, playing golf and tennis, cooking, painting and woodworking. I most enjoy traveling - and just hanging out - with my wife.
